Rock Hill Schools Superintendent Dr. Elder presented a high-level summary of her first 100 working days and asked the board to approve her findings. She said, "I've visited over 90 classrooms," described community roundtables and an initiative inventory, and outlined actions across student achievement, community engagement, mental health and safety, accountability and budget alignment.

Dr. Elder framed immediate actions to reduce initiative fatigue and to involve teachers and principals in decisions that impact instruction. She told the board the report "is not intended to serve as a comprehensive plan forward, but it is a culmination of the findings of that 100 plan," and asked explicitly, "I ask for your approval for of my 90 day findings or my hundred day findings."

Board members praised the report's transparency and direction. A board member seeking measurable outcomes urged staff to return with concrete targets such as third-grade reading or tenth-grade math to measure progress. Another member asked that the mission and vision work be paired with these goals so the board and superintendent can align priorities.

The board approved the superintendent's 90/100-day findings by a 7-0 vote. The board then directed the superintendent and staff to align any action plans to the newly adopted board goals and to provide measurable metrics and timelines in future reports.

What happens next: Dr. Elder said the full entry report is or will be available on the district website and that the board will receive follow-up reports with measurable outcomes and timelines linked to the board's goals.
